Throws against Indians Burdi allowed one run on two hits in the ninth inning against Cleveland on Saturday. He struck out two batters.

Impact Manager Derek Shelton said the team will not have a set closer with Keone Kela (virus) out, leaving Burdi in contention for save opportunities with Kyle Crick, Richard Rodriguez and possibly Michael Feliz. Crick pitched poorly Saturday, leaving the door open. For his part, Burdi looked better than Crick, consistently reaching the upper 90s with his heater while Crick sat in the low 90s.

No set closer without Kela Crick won't be named the fill-in closer as manager Derek Shelton said Friday he plans to mix and match in save opportunities if Keone Kela (undisclosed) is unavailable, Rob Biertem...

Impact Crick still figures to be atop the list of potential ninth-inning options, but Shelton doesn't plan on relying on a single arm. Kela has yet to report to camp and has no official timeline for his return, so it remains to be seen how many games he misses, if any. Crick recorded 17 holds and had a 2.39 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 2018, but he struggled last season with a 4.96 ERA in 52 outings. Richard Rodriguez and Nick Burdi could also factor into the mix if Kela remains sidelined.

Makes camp debut Sunday Crick would likely become the frontrunner for the closer's role if Keone Kela (undisclosed) is unable to pitch, DK Pittsburgh Sports reports.

Impact Crick made his summer camp debut Sunday, allowing a walk and a double while striking out Josh Bell. Manager Derek Shelton said he was confident Kela wouldn't need many camp appearances to round into closer form, but his grip on the job continues to loosen with each passing day. Rich Rodriguez and Nick Burdi could also vie for saves, but Crick figures to get first crack.
